there was plenty of fuel. One thing I see is that with his setup and those pulls he was doing he could have lowered fuel pressure a bit. Can't say for sure though.

Another reason why not to roll race to insane speeds like that and to just take it to the damn track. How many LSJ's do you see blowing up at the track, vs. blowing up on the street? Exactly my point. Second to none.

truth! Far less time to hear soak on 1/4 mile than the street. 14 seconds vs what 35. IDK, but heat builds fast.

Instead of replacing the block, why not get the upgraded sleeves?

It won't really save you money but your engine will be much stronger in the end.
